Path to playoffs..

FAB802 said:
Please stop. We tied the ******* Lions and got killed by a team with a worse record than us yesterday. The score was close because they called off the dogs on defense. Nobody in our division will play more than one playoff game, none of them. Squeaking in will not force them to get into reality and completely blow it up. It's time. We had a good, no losing seasons run, but it's a wrap on that group.

Every single team has terrible losses on their records… this season anyone can beat anyone because they finally watered things down to the point you can’t have a stacked team…

It’s irrelevant though because Goodell is going to mandate a Patriots Bucs Super bowl… it will be totally fixed…

Just for fun since the season likely ended last night. I'm going to update this weekly for routing interest of what we need to get in.

Who we need to lose this weekend:
Browns beating Ravens in Cleveland
Chiefs beating Raiders in KC
Giants beating Chargers in LA
49ers beating Bengals in Cinci
Bucs beating Bills in TB
Colts have a bye

I think all of them but Chargers has a chance to happen. I do think we can beat the Titans at home(maybe foolish of me to think). If we win that game, we still have a chance.
Yes, we do have a tough schedule down the stretch but so does our competition for final playoff spots. Ravens could realistically lose their final 4 or 5.

You do realize that we only needed (as of last Thursday) to only win 3 out of the last 5 games and we'd be in the playoffs, right???

As of this moment:

1. The Stains won = good
2. The Faiders got spanked = great
3. No way were the Giants beating the Chargers
4. The Bungals are losing to SF hopefully they lose.
5. Buffoons never got on the plane in Rochester. Tampa is putting on a clinic = good

We're still in the race...

Steelers most realistic chance is a wildcard. With four games remaining, it’s impossible to know exactly which AFC teams we want to win or lose unless they are playing the Steelers or an NFC team. For example, we might want the Ravens to beat the Browns to eliminate them as a wildcard possibility.

The Rats could very well lose the next 4 games. No Lamar and no DB's is gonna start hurting them at some point...

Case in point. The Ravens loss put another team ahead of the Steelers in playoff positioning today, but we might be competing with the Ravens for a playoff spot four weeks from now. Hard to know which team you want to win.

Yeah i wasn't sure if the ravens winning or losing was better for us. However as crazy as it is we can still get the #4 seed. I couldn't find any scenarios where we could lose 2 games and get in, but I'll have to play around more. It could very well come down the last game and winner of us vs Ravens gets last seed

Ravens, Bills, Bengals all loss today. It was a good day for us. Let's hope for a healthy practice report and get ready to beat some **** next Sunday!

I'll update list of games and the outcomes we need for next week.

Why would the Bills fly out of Rochester? Pretty sure Buffalo has an international airport. :unsure:

Also, the "Buffoons" is a bit of stretch. And what, you've got no cringeworthy nickname for the Chargers?
 
Win out, only path we have. Tough to win out given our schedule. The tie kills us

Unfortunately even with the help we receive we keep painting ourselves further and further into the corner where now we need to stack several improbable “given Sundays” in a row after this most recent 1-2-1 stretch of not being able to play a 60 minute game...but until we are a dead carcass on the road to the playoffs

HERE WE GO STEELERS!!!

Stack four in a row and let’s send Ben off with an improbable playoff W

They would be the dolts.
 
Sorry, but this team does not deserve to be in the playoffs.
More like the road to hell is paved with good intentions.😷

The only thing sneaking into the playoffs will do for this team is hurt our draft pick. This team will get annihilated in the playoffs.

Probably like 1983 when they lost four of their last five games and got annihilated by the Raiders. Sorry, I guess I could’ve used a more recent analogy in last year!

Dolts would be more fitting for Indianapolis, I think.

Los Angeles Cringers?

Oh yeah the Colts. I was thinking lightning dolts. I wish we could steal their GM. **** and their QB for that matter.
 
Bottom line, need to beat the ****.

Games of interest:

Chiefs @ Chargers - we want Chiefs to win this, I like their chances.
Raiders @ Browns - we want Raiders but I think Browns win.
Patriots @ Colts - we want Patriots. This is arguably the biggest game for our playoff hopes thru wildcard.
Panthers @ Bills - we want Panthers. Not going to happen.
Jets @ Dolphins - we want Jets if you consider Dolphins a WC threat.
Bengals @ Broncos - we probably want Broncos to win if we want a shot at the division. It's kind of a win win though.
Packers @ Ravens - obviously we want packers. This feels like a game Ravens are suppose to lose but somehow win. Hopefully not.

Most important game is probably the Pats @ Colts.
Even if all our division wins this weekend, if we win 3 of our last 4, we have a good chance at winning the division with the teams the rest of our division plays.

Let's get the W on Sunday and see what happens!
